There is a rhyme or reason according to a Genius guy I talked to who’s been working there for 7+ years. He said normally you fly by Quality Check in a few days, a week at most. If it’s been stuck there longer than a week he said it’s guaranteed that it’s due to a part shortage. He said they’re trying to streamline the process more so that there no more stop sales at the port and everything is done at the factory which could explain why everything is so slow right now in the entire assembly process from 112 all the way up through whatever status code Quality Check is. It seems like the delays are now happening in the manufacturing pipeline instead of through a stop sale at the port. Hopefully what this means is that as soon as all these newer cars finally do get shipped out they’re 100% assembled.

I called the genius line again today, and they are insistent that production is scheduled for week 37 (described as Friday, Sept 10 to Friday, Sept 17 - which is slightly off by a weekend but whatever). The website still says order received.
They say production will start next week and run for 2-3 weeks. And I can call again at the end of next week to get a better status.

I was booted out of week 36 and am now part of week 37. Just checked and my exterior body assembly has begun!
As for all these chip issues, I did not add any tech options. 1 I don't care for anymore technology and 2 I was thinking it would cut delays (I have nightmares of built m3's sitting in a parking waiting for chips lot like the Ford trucks). It's been slow like everyone else tho. |

That’s just me trying to explain what’s transpiring. I don’t actually believe it’s going to happen next week. What’s the difference between nearly 4 months and 4.5-5 more months to when I see the car - it’s all quite far off. Assuming 3 months to west coast and 2-3 weeks of production time, and a week to start of production in the best case. |

Got delayed to week 43 now, which will probably put me at the end of December delivery. Going to start looking for good deals on the M5 now..

Called again and genius lady was like “looks like it’s scheduled to be completed on… oh wait hold on that doesn’t jive it’s already the end of week 37” 🤣
So yea it still says Week 37 and still 112. If I get delayed to week 40 or above I might just try and fight for my deposit back at this point and just pick up some other comparable car. I mean there’s people moving up to week 43 now. I want this car but I’m not waiting half a year or longer for it. |

I originally secured an allocation near the end of July and went into scheduled for production on August 2nd with a week 36 build. It went back to order received and then back into scheduled for production on the same day on September 1st with a week 37 build and I’m still in scheduled for production. I have no doubt I’ll be bumped up to at least week 38 if not more. Man I hope some of y’all here start having better luck to give the rest of us hope but it looks like everyone is getting bumped around. I just don’t understand how the fuck these delays are that bad. Why would you release allocations if it meant potentially delaying orders by 3+ months ffs. |

I get your frustration, and I share some of it, but the issues are global and very much impacting almost every company right now.

I ordered the original one early March and had it for a week in early June, and this one might not get here till November - December so it really feels like I’ve been waiting almost 8 months. |

Hopefully other cars including yours have switched or are getting to this stage soon. Also, the last Genius I talked to may have been correct - the production week may actually be Friday to Friday and starts 3 days prior to the start of the calendar week.
